We are a progressive and innovative non-profit organization dedicated to providing personalized and engaging education to youth placed in DYS programs across Massachusetts. We hire licensed and aspiring educators who are passionate about making a difference through alternative education. We are especially interested in those with a current Massachusetts secondary level teacher licensure (8-12; 5-12) who have experience with students placed at-risk, however we also welcome candidates seeking to change their careers, or return to teaching again, who are waiver-eligible teachers and willing to obtain a teacher certification. Ability to teach extra subjects may be required.
This is a teacher position for the Springfield area. Mathematics or Science certification preferred.
Our programs have small student populations of up to 15 students, with an average class size of 5 students. Instruction is provided by a small, but mighty, group of General Education, Special Education, Art, Physical Education, Horticulture, Vocational, Literacy and ELL teachers.
Our students are placed in our programs by the courts, have complex learning profiles, are multi-grade level, and diverse. They are also budding artists, scientists, musicians, college students, neighbors, and future change agents eager to be seen, experience hope, and contribute. We believe everyone is a learner, and seek educators that value social justice and equity, compassion, patience, and flexibility. Salary Range: $57,234-$81,060
